a registered pharmacist in person,

and each morning the hunter found
his cabin floor divided by a dam
that reached from wall 10 wall, the
component parts of which were fire
wood, boots, articles of clothing, and
other movable articles in the house
that could be reached or transported.
To add to the confusion, basin or
bucket of water, if possible, was
capsized and flooded over the floor.
This little animal, who had never
seen a stream or a dam to know
either, was busily at work engaged
in doing what his forefathers had
done a thousand years before him.
The largest beaver ever caught in
Montana, and in the Northwest, too,
for that matter, was trapped last
March by local furrier on Pryor's
Fork. 1t weighed 6l pounds and
measured 36d inches from tip ofthe
nose to end OF the tail. 1t yielded
a handsome silver-gray skin, which
is almost as great rarity as that
possessed by the golden-hued mem
Der of the same family.
while all other game or fur-bcaring
animals of the Northwest are likely
to be exterminated without a dis
senting voice poor little harmless
and hard-working beaver has found
a fast friend in the cattlemen and
herd owners. The reason is obvious.
In this great dry country and eli
mate the streams and water holes on
the ranges are few and far between.
Moisture is the cattleman's greatest
want. Now beaver destroys moth
ing but trees. and as there arc few
of the latter on the great treeless
plains of Montana the beaver of
necessity lives on shrubs and roots
and builds his dam where he may.
This just suits the cattleman, who
finds in the insignificant little qua
druped compared to his 1,000-pound
steers most valuable ally in pro-
viding pounds and drinking places
where there were none before.
